What happened?Terrible news.
Shit, sorry man. I was replying to the diver who died. Realise the timing might be a bit "late".What happened?
I cannot imagine how that teacher is feeling. Obviously he’s taking the blame for it but it’s naive ignorance on his part. As things stand, he’s living an absolute nightmare and is likely to spend his final moments coming to terms with the horrendous responsibility. Just tragic.
Still delayed or did I miss something?Announcement has been delayed by an hour.

Jacob Goldberg is at the scene of the rescue site waiting for the press conference to begin along with reporters from around the world who have assembled in anticipation of the interior minister’s announcement.
Crowds of police officers are scurrying back and forth across the rescue camp like something is about to happen. A generator hums in the background. A few drops of rain are falling.
Spotlights shine on the platform where the interior minister is expected to make an announcement. Reporters are lingering around the platform. We’ve been waiting for hours.
Yeah I was thinking the same at first but -"we've been waiting for hours"
It's almost like there's more pressing things going on than keeping the media updated.
I image there's rightly concern over how open the government is being on this situation.A journalist at the rescue site wears a t-shirt saying ‘Journalism is not a crime’.
Reporters Without Borders recently condemned the Thai junta’s crackdown on news and information since the military coup in 2014.
It has urged the international community to take a firmer line with the regime, which has “stepped up online censorship and prosecutions of media outlets in recent months”.
According to Freedom House, Thailand has one of the least free medias in the world with authorities banning hundreds of sites in the past four years.
Didn't know bird's nests collectors was a thing. Let alone that they could be usefull in a life or death situation.
The greatest minds and bodies on their niche fields are gathered to try and save those people from a freakingly unique situation. It's a thriller movie in real time. It's like Apollo 13 when those NASA dudes started making puzzles, against the clock, with replicas of the equipment on board.
feck, I so want a happy ending to this, but the diver's death has curbed my hopes. Doesn't look good at all.

Im very much hoping this ends well and they make a nice film out of it in the future.Didn't know bird's nests collectors was a thing. Let alone that they could be usefull in a life or death situation.

Looks like the rescue will be attempted shortly.Has just started. Chiang Rai Governer speaking, opening comments: "The boys entered through the front of the cave, they will come out through the front.”
Yes, the guy on the conference laughed it off when asked if they could wait for the monsoon season to end (i.e about 4 months).Oh man, those kids are gonna have to dive????
Yeah that's certainly an awful option. What's the chance of these kids getting PTSD if they succeed with diving?Yes, the guy on the conference laughed it off when asked if they could wait for the monsoon season to end (i.e about 4 months).
I'm sorry but this made me laugh.Is frightening that they only have the option to take them out because it will rain tomorrow. Or is what I understood?
I hope I am wrong but I think it will be a disaster if a elite diver just died...
If I would be inside the cave and aware of the situation, I would ask for a gun and shoot my head (yes, I am a coward). Dying underwater is one of the kind of deaths that scare me the most
